Full Version Episode 113 Features Philip Tzeng. He Runs a Social Media & Marketing Consulting Company @lasvegasfill with 276K Instagram Followers and 443 TikTok Followers.

The majority of products purchased online and in person are based on reviews. Food is not an exception, and some content creators have their thumbs on their fingers. You can review anything, from fine dining to fast food, but people are fascinated by reactions and find opinions useful.

Every town has food streets or areas known for flavourful treats, multiple food branches huddled together in a small space selling food to an excessive number of people. Step into the excitement and take your audience on a virtual tour of that hard-to-reach location, where you can enjoy tasty-looking chaats, spicy Chinese, and authentic bakery desserts.

There is a part of YouTube chefs who prepare everything from sweet to meat dishes. You could do anything from simply cooking home recipes to incorporating film or focusing on specifics such as recreating food from tv shows, games, or trendy restaurants.

Get To Know Get To Know Philip Tzeng

Philip Tzeng, also known as LasVegasFill, as he covers the social media scene revolving around food, Sin City, and beyond. Also, Philip Tzeng, runs a social media marketing and consulting company, LasVegasFill, boasting a roster of well-known eateries in the city. He has amassed 230,000 followers on Instagram and 400,000 on TikTok over the past five years. “I go out multiple nights a week and cover every cuisine imaginable on various social media platforms.”

Boston, MA, is where he grew up, but Tzeng honestly identifies more with his time and the friends he made as a young adult in NYC.  He had several lifetimes of jobs, but his very first one was working at a dry cleaner store when he was in high school.

Philip's favorite way to spend his free time in NV is he tries to balance all the calories ingested with yoga and cycling also loves Korean dramas. His biggest accomplishment is working hard enough to become his own boss, leaving the timeshare industry after over 10 years, and having the freedom to do what he wants, when he wants. 

His advice to someone pursuing a career path in what you do is to simply start posting and be consistent with it. Give an actual opinion on the food and work harder at editing videos. He fell into this job; this was never the plan he had in mind.

Full Version Episode 112 Features Courtney Sayson. Co-Founder & Creative Director Of Gamer Girls Philippines.

One of the main reasons larger communities, especially those that grow fast, have a higher rate of toxicity is that they don’t curate their community. They focus on having large numbers rather than the safety and well-being of the people in those communities.

Marginalized persons who work to create safe and inclusive spaces often have some of the most strenuous security measures to gain access to their communities. They do this because hateful people will literally go the extra mile to join those communities just to troll and be hateful. Having security barriers helps to understand who is asking for access to your communities.

Having a zero-tolerance policy for hate speech should be a given, but, again, too many people don’t know what hate speech is outside of racial and gender-based slurs.

Full Version Episode 111 Features Abby Asistio. Singer and Songwriter, Alopecia Awareness Advocate with 24.9K Instagram Followers.

There aren't many instant successes. Most people must put in the effort, dedicate the time, and travel the distance. Your desire for success should drive you to push yourself harder, believing that one day you will succeed. Your perseverance sets you apart from the crowd. Perseverance is easier when you have a mental picture of where you want to go.

Similarly in life, we need to have a mental map of what we want to achieve and accomplish in both our personal and professional lives. A written down and clear vision helps you to be organized and it helps in aligning your short term-term and long-term goals and activities. What you want to achieve should be very clear in your mind then you find a way to get you from here to there.

When you require assistance, ask for it. Have a trusted good friend with whom you can talk, open up, and share your feelings. Sometimes just talking it out can help, it can also stimulate brainstorming for solutions and idea bouncing. Surround yourself with a network of supporters who will be your cheerleaders, such as family, friends, colleagues, and neighbors. This team will encourage, support, and cheer you on as you approach the finish line.

Take a moment to reflect on and appreciate the progress you have already made whenever you feel overwhelmed and anxious about how much work and time it will take to complete the big picture.

3. Motivating Yourself

Negative thoughts are the second worst offender of progress; inaction is the first offender of progress. Negative self-talk causes cancer to spread. When faced with disappointments, many people give up too soon. Negativity wishes for you to feel sorry for yourself and doubt your ability to succeed. Consider yourself in a positive and kind light.

Recognize everything you like about yourself. Everyone has something unique to contribute to the world. Avoid the trap of believing that if you fail at one thing, you will fail at everything. Struggles are an inevitable part of life.

Abby Asistio is a singer-songwriter who originates from the Philippines. Her new sound "Modern Kundiman" captures smooth and gentle rhythms, honoring the genre, "Kundiman." Abby's also a vocal advocate for Alopecia and women's empowerment. She tells her story through music to inspire others to embrace one's uniqueness and beauty. 

Also, she’s one of the new breed of young artists to join Manila Genesis Entertainment & Management Inc. she recently released her debut, a self-penned single titled “Beautiful” which was arranged by Jay Durias of South Border. The single’s music video is directed by Joaquin Valdes and is currently enjoying massive airplay on Myx as well as on Manila’s hottest radio stations. 

One day, Abby decided there was no more hiding. In September 2012, she took a stand and embraced her baldness. Together with her good friend Jing Monis, she shaved her head and began an Alopecia Areata Awareness Month Instagram campaign in which she invited friends and family to pose with a double “A” sign using their fingers. The campaign grew to success and to date has over a thousand photos. On September 25 of the same year, Abby did a coming out concert where she performed bald in public for the very first time.

Last year she was highlighted as one of the top 41 best vocalists on The Voice Of The Philippines as one of its chosen contestants out of thousands of aspirants. Also a finalist of the Dove Real Beauty Campaign and one of Meg magazine’s 30 Young Achievers, she made it one of her life goals to be a voice for those with alopecia areata. Abby was honored to be chosen as a brand ambassador for Novuhair. This new platform will help her to continue her advocacy to share her music and life story.

Episode 110 Features Erin and Phil Lockwood of Always Be Changing. Family Travel and Lifestyle with 41.8K YouTube Subscribers.

With a focus on travel tips and photos, one of the biggest income streams is collaborations with hotels, tourism boards, and other companies which offer bookings, etc. In this case, they often get contacted by agencies that look for partners for their clients to promote for example hotel openings, special destinations, or events. And then agree on the deliverables after and during the trip depending on the available budget.

Affiliate marketing means you link to a product for sale, and if someone clicks your link and then buys the product, you earn a commission. Not just any links work, though; you need to apply to become an affiliate and then use special links that track the traffic coming from your website. That’s how the seller (or affiliate company) knows to pay you!

Episode 109 Features KATE TELEK. Video Creator and Entrepreneur with 280K TikTok Followers.

The ability to come up with original ideas, think outside the box, and solve problems with limited resources is important to running a successful business. Creativity helps you see the big picture, connect the dots between ideas, and develop new ideas to keep your business or activity growing.

Most people do not want to watch videos for dry content. They want to see a story that will appeal to their emotions. Your goal should be to connect to your audience while distributing information. One without the other will make your marketing video fall flat. Tell stories that bring some value to a viewer, so they feel the urge to know more about your brand. Be concise and weave a cohesive narrative.

Since it’s impossible to reach everyone at once, narrowing your focus to a core audience helps you to develop an effective marketing strategy. It helps your company craft a messaging strategy that appeals directly to the type of consumers who are more likely to convert into customers.

Kate Telek is a creative based out of Vancouver. She provides high-quality video production and photography services from corporate, promotional, and commercial 

videos to interviews, and everything in-between. Drawing on her background in digital marketing and social media, she offers a unique, multi-faceted approach to content creation and distribution. And she loves telling stories and tries to do it in the most creative, engaging, and effective way. 

Apart from her client work, she also creates content for her social media platforms where she educates her audience on how to create amazing videos with their smartphones. 

Kate Telek is super professional, super creative, and super friendly to work with. They loved the Love Story she created for them, they watch it at least 10 times a day. They highly recommend her if you are looking for a videographer who is great to work with, reliable, and produces amazing results!

Episode 108 Features KAREN BORDADOR. Motivational Speaker, Talk Show Host, and Content Creator with 136k YouTube Subscribers.

Knowing who your target audience is, is crucial to the success of your content and marketing strategy. A brand needs relevant and innovative content to pique the audience’s interest. Though it doesn’t stop at grabbing their attention, you’ll also need to find ways to keep it. And, knowing what they’ll resonate with will make this challenge much easier. 

You're not the only content creator in your industry. That means you're not the only one offering the advice, observations, and thought leadership your industry is asking for. There are lots of things you can do to stand out from the other content creators in your field: diversifying into a new content medium, promoting your content on different channels, and naturally gaining experience and trust over time.

Karen has always been a kind-hearted caring thoughtful generous and loving person. 

Karen Bordador is known for Maalaala Mo Kaya (1991), Luv U (2012) and Anino't panaginip: The Hidden Chapters of Imortal (2010). Karen talks about how she became a successful content creator, what advice she would give newbies looking to break into this field, and what types of skills you need if you want to become one too. 

Karen Bordador says that social media is great for promoting your brand and getting attention for yourself, but it can also be very time-consuming if you don't have enough time available to dedicate to it - especially if you're trying to build an audience who will be interested in your work.

When you surround yourself with positive influences, it becomes that much easier to stay focused on your end goals. You'll feel better about yourself. You'll feel energized and motivated when you spend time with these people. You won't be as stressed out.

And it turns out there is a growing body of research that shows there are many psychological benefits to being grateful, including feeling happier and lowering stress, depression, and anxiety. And of course, feeling good about helping others feel good too! When you are struggling with negativity, it can be easy to forget all the positive things in your life. Try looking through your life and surroundings and find things that you are grateful for.

It’s easy to dwell on our mistakes. We felt terrible that we acted this way and that we wasted our weekend. The only thing we can do now is to learn from our mistakes and move forward. We definitely don’t want to have a weekend/day like that again.

The potential to learn is immense since we can learn. Not every being in the universe can do so. The skill of learnability confers future value on you by making you agile. It's a currency that is rewarded with better employability and high growth prospects. Learn why learnability has gained prominence–and how to develop a flair for it.

Episode 105 features AJ FRANCISCO. Successful Entrepreneur, Brainchild of Twenty Four Bakeshop

www.twentyfourbakeshop.com

Content Creator with 60K Instagram Followers.

Successful entrepreneurs arise from different gender, race, ages, and income levels. They differ in experience and education. According to research, most successful entrepreneurs have certain personal attributes in common. They include determination, leadership, flexibility, creativity, self-confidence, passion, and ‘smarts’.

You become an entrepreneur when you start your own company. However, we can’t define the process from start to finish because you must take many more actions before you start your company to become a successful entrepreneur.

If you want to be a successful entrepreneur, you have to challenge yourself. No one else is going to push you, so it’s up to you to do it. Challenges keep entrepreneurs nimble and on their toes. If you’re constantly looking for the next challenge, you’ll always be prepared for what comes your way. 

If you don’t believe in yourself, who will? Being a successful entrepreneur means that you’ve learned to listen to your intuition and rely on your wisdom when making decisions.

Your ability to trust and believe in yourself will show your confidence. People are more likely to follow and trust confident leaders. Trusting in your own skills will also take some of the pain of uncertainty out of being an entrepreneur.

Seeing the goal as already complete in your mind's eye is a core technique used by the world's most successful people. Visualization is effective because it harnesses the power of our subconscious mind.

Entrepreneur and culinary enthusiast AJ Francisco is quite the busy bee who wears a lot of hands. Apart from running multiple businesses like her Cookie Store in BGC, AJ also works as a marketing consultant for several brands. And yet every morning, before going to work, she always makes sure to water plants first. For her, there’s no better way to start her day! 

She is an engineering graduate. She was shy before, telling everyone that she was an engineering graduate But over the years, she learned to love her course, because it really exercised her brain, how to keep things going, and how to manage everything wisely.

Episode 104 features ANGELICA GAPIT. Digital Entrepreneur and Content Creator with 66.2K TikTok Followers.

The internet, combined with powerful, low-cost technology, makes large quantities of data widely and freely available. This allows anyone, regardless of capital or connections, to quickly develop a thriving business.

A digital entrepreneur harnesses the reach and power of the internet to offer products and services for profit. They possess all the characteristics of a traditional entrepreneur–vision, determination, persistence, and creativity–but also several other key traits.

As a result, the abilities and characteristics of the entrepreneur become the business's most important assets. These tips separate the successful digital entrepreneur from all the rest.

Your digital assets are becoming the new treasure trove. Web traffic, email lists, and your social networks are part of this mix.

Once you're confident that you're offering something unique, create a plan for delivering it. What steps are you taking to become an online entrepreneur? How do you get your product? Who is creating your e-commerce website? Where is your startup capital coming from? Do you have the infrastructure to meet demand if you become extremely successful? All of these questions, and more, must be addressed before you begin your online business.

Angelica Gapit is a Filipino-American, born and raised in California, but now living in Manila running 2 businesses at the age of 22. She operates a party platter delivery business, called Big Pockets, and is a co-owner of a travel agency called Strip Adventures, which holds local joiner trips to destinations near Manila.
